You protected Your servant Prahlaad, O Dear Lord, and annihilated Harnaakhash.

The Gurmukhs place their faith in the Dear Lord, but the self-willed manmukhs are deluded by doubt. ||1||

O Dear Lord, this is Your Glory.

You preserve the honor of Your devotees, O Lord Master; Your devotees seek Your Sanctuary. ||Pause||
ਭਗਤਾ ਨੋ ਜਮੁ ਜੋਹਿ ਨ ਸਾਕੈ ਕਾਲੁ ਨ ਨੇੜੈ ਜਾਈ ॥

The Messenger of Death cannot touch Your devotees; death cannot even approach them.
ਕੇਵਲ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਨਾਮੇ ਹੀ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਪਾਈ ॥
keval raam naam man vasiaa naame hee mukat paiee ||
The Name of the Lord alone abides in their minds; through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, they find liberation.
ਰਿਧਿ ਸਿਧਿ ਸਭ ਭਗਤਾ ਚਰਣੀ ਲਾਗੀ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਹਜਿ ਸੁਭਾਈ ॥੨॥
ridh sidh sabh bhagataa charanee laagee gur kai sahaj subhaiee ||2||
Wealth and all the spiritual powers of the Siddhis fall at the feet of the Lord's devotees; they obtain peace and poise from the Guru. ||2||
ਮਨਮੁਖਾ ਨੋ ਪਰਤੀਤਿ ਨ ਆਵੀ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਲੋਭ ਸੁਆਉ ॥
manmukhaa no parateet na aavee a(n)tar lobh suaau ||
The self-willed manmukhs have no faith; they are filled with greed and self-interest.

gurmukh hiradhai sabadh na bhedhio har naam na laagaa bhaau ||
They are not Gurmukh - they do not understand the Word of the Shabad in their hearts; they do not love the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

kooR kapaT paaj leh jaasee manmukh feekaa alaau ||3||
Their masks of falsehood and hypocrisy shall fall off; the self-willed manmukhs speak with insipid words. ||3||

You are pervading through Your devotees, O Dear God; through Your devotees, You are known.

All the people are enticed by Maya; they are Yours, Lord - You alone are the Architect of Destiny.

Whoever challenges them is destroyed; they have the Lord God as their Savior. ||5||

bin satigur seve kinai na paiaa manmukh bhauk mue bilalaiee ||
Without serving the True Guru, no one finds the Lord; the self-willed manmukhs die crying out in pain.
ਆਵਹਿ ਜਾਵਹਿ ਠਉਰ ਨ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਦੁਖ ਮਹਿ ਦੁਖਿ ਸਮਾਈ ॥
aaveh jaaveh Thaur na paaveh dhukh meh dhukh samaiee ||
They come and go, and find no place of rest; in pain and suffering, they perish.

But one who becomes Gurmukh drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar, and is easily absorbed in the True Name. ||6||
ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੇਵੇ ਜਨਮੁ ਨ ਛੋਡੈ ਜੇ ਅਨੇਕ ਕਰਮ ਕਰੈ ਅਧਿਕਾਈ ॥
bin satigur seve janam na chhoddai je anek karam karai adhikaiee ||
Without serving the True Guru, one cannot escape reincarnation, even by performing numerous rituals.
ਵੇਦ ਪੜਹਿ ਤੈ ਵਾਦ ਵਖਾਣਹਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਪਤਿ ਗਵਾਈ ॥

Those who read the Vedas, and argue and debate without the Lord, lose their honor.

True is the True Guru, and True is the Word of His Bani; in the Guru's Sanctuary, one is saved. ||7||
ਜਿਨ ਹਰਿ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਸੇ ਦਰਿ ਸਾਚੇ ਦਰਿ ਸਾਚੈ ਸਚਿਆਰਾ ॥
jin har man vasiaa se dhar saache dhar saachai sachiaaraa ||
Those whose minds are filled with the Lord are judged as true in the Court of the Lord; they are hailed as true in the True Court.
ਓਨਾ ਦੀ ਸੋਭਾ ਜੁਗਿ ਜੁਗਿ ਹੋਈ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਮੇਟਣਹਾਰਾ ॥

Their praises echo throughout the ages, and no one can erase them.

End of the Hukamnama
Past seven days
What is a Hukamnama?
Each morning at Sri Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, after Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is opened with prayer, the Granthi reads the shabad at the top of the left page the Guru opens to. That shabad is the Hukamnama, the Guru's order for the day. The word joins hukam, an order, and nama, a letter.
It is taken once and shared everywhere, so a Sikh in Amritsar and one in California read the same shabad that day. Many Sikhs read it after their morning Nitnem, or listen to it on the way to work, and carry a line of it through the day.
This page shows the day's Hukamnama in Gurmukhi with a transliteration and English translation, and the recording of it when one is available. The Simran app brings it to your phone each morning, with the lock screen widget showing the first line where you will see it first.
Frequently asked questions
What time is the Hukamnama taken?
It is taken at Sri Harmandir Sahib early in the morning, India time, and appears here soon after. India is twelve and a half hours ahead of California and five and a half hours ahead of London, so by the clock in North America the new Hukamnama usually arrives the evening before.
Why does the date look a day ahead of mine?
The date is the day in Amritsar, where the Hukamnama is taken. When it is Tuesday morning there it is still Monday evening in most of the Americas.
Can I read an earlier Hukamnama?
The past seven days are listed above. Each opens that day's full shabad in Gurmukhi with transliteration and English.
How do I get the Hukamnama on my lock screen?
The Simran app has a Daily Hukamnama widget for the lock screen on iPhone and Android. Add it once and the day's shabad is there each morning. The lock screen widget page walks through the setup.
